Study foreign smart device threats to protect the power grid.
To help protect the U.S. electric grid, this bill would require the Secretary of Commerce to study threats from smart devices controlled by foreign countries. It would also make an existing executive order about how digital communication technology is made and delivered a permanent law. This aims to keep the electric grid safe from potential attacks through internet-connected home appliances.
Today, there is no specific law requiring an assessment of national security risks to the electric grid from foreign adversary-controlled internet-connected devices and applications. Also, Executive Order 13873, which addresses how digital communication technology is made and delivered, is not a permanent law. If this bill passes, the Secretary of Commerce would have to deliver a report within 270 days. Executive Order 13873 would also become a permanent law, taking effect immediately upon the bill's signing.
